The Ultimate Husband (Darryl and Lily Lyndon) novel Chapter 223

Read The Ultimate Husband [by Skykissing wolf] Chapter 223 – “Your analysis is correct. The vase is worth two million bucks if it is still in pristine condition.” Darryl continued, “However, you missed something, the time when the vase was broken.”

Shawn’s expression changed, but he did not say anything.

“Kid, you’re acting like you know more than a museum employee.”

“You looked like a security guard. Wait, you smell like you just came out of a washroom. Are you also a janitor?”

The crowd laughed; Darryl indeed smelled like he had urine on him.

There was one person who did not laugh; Dora stared at Darryl frozenly.

Darryl crouched and took a piece of the shattered vase. “Experts would know that the Yuan dynasty’s delftware was made from a mixture of two ingredients—china stone and kaolinite. Therefore, when a delftware item broke, its yellowish base would get dark if it was exposed to air.”

Darryl handed a piece of the porcelain to the middle-aged man. “The pieces in the luggage can prove that the vase was broken quite some time ago.

Based on the dark base, I’d say that it broke decades ago, possibly when it was unearthed.”

Darryl shifted his gaze to the con men. “These pieces are only worth eight or nine hundred bucks, at most. Your luggage bag was only filled with broken pieces. Are you not ashamed to con people with this tactic?”

The crowd grew silent in an instant!

Shawn’s fingers trembled as he held the porcelain piece. As someone with 20 years of experience in the museum, he had always believed that he was the best in Donghai City! Not even Yvonne and Kingston Young could compare to him!

He was ashamed that a young lad in his zos was more learned and knowledgeable than him!

Shawn’s wife stared at Daryl with curiosity; his knowledge amazed her!

“My name’s Shawn Larson. Young man, you are very wise. I am impressed!” Shawn walked toward Darryl in a daze and handed him a name card. “This is my card. Please contact me; perhaps we can have tea when you are free!”

The crowd was in shock.

“The luggage was filled with shards?” “How immoral!”

Dora felt like she was in a dream.

She had fallen into despair, and she even racked her brain to think of ways to get two million bucks.

However, the situation had reversed in the blink of an eye.

She looked at Darryl with gratitude.
